suboblong, slightly dilated, costa gently arched, apex rounded, 
termen rather obliquely rounded; deep orange; costa narrowly 
black towards base, from before ^ with a gradually expanded 
black marginal band widest opposite apex, where it occupies f of 
wing, and then rather narrowed along termen to below tornus, 
cut by whitish streaks on all veins ; a round blackish spot on 
transverse vein : cilia dark grey, basal third black. Hindwings 
orange, a small blackish spot on transverse vein, a moderately 
broad blackish border cut by indistinct orange lines on veins 
round apex and upper | of termen, some blackish irroration 
towards dorsum and tornus; in one specimen the orange area 
almost wholly suffused blackish, except costal area from near 
base to |; cilia as in forewings, at apex a whitish patch.

Head with dense loosely appressed scales, sidetufts raised; 
ocelli small, posterior; tongue obsolete. Antennae f, in <$ stout, 
short-dentate, strongly fasciculate-ciliated, basal joint short, 
thickened with dense scales. Labial palpi moderate, ascending, 
second joint much thickened with dense appressed scales, terminal 
joint short, conical, pointed. Maxillary palpi obsolete. Thorax 
densely scaled, with short dense posterior dorsal crest, densely 
hairy beneath. Abdomen clothed with dense shaggy hairscales. 
All tibiae expanded with dense rough scales, anterior tarsi short, 
densely scaled, posterior tarsi expanded with dense rough scales 
above. Forewings 1 b furcate, 2 from angle, 2-5 approximated 
at base, 6-9 approximated at base, 8 to apex (indefinite), 1 1 from 
middle. Hindwings over 1, ovate, cilia g; 3 and 4 connate,

Eriogenes mesogypsa, n. sp. 
A . 33-35 mm. Head, thorax light brown somewhat mixed 
whitish, crown of head sometimes suffused coppery-brown or (in 
Ceram example) dark fuscous. Palpi dark brown, terminal joint 
somewhat sprinkled whitish. Abdomen browui-whitish. Fore¬ 
wings moderate, posteriorly dilated, termen rounded, rather 
oblique; 1 ight brownish, more or less irrorated darker towards 
costa (in Ceram example suffused dark fuscous towards costa 
before median fascia); an undefined rather broad median fascia 
of white suffusion, narrower and more distinct on costa; a cloud 
of fainter white suffusion in posterior third of disc, sometimes 
little indicated; second discal stigma obscurely indicated as a 
darker dot on posterior edge of white fascia; in Ceram example 
a curved darker shade from | of costa to tornus: cilia pale 
brownish, some faint darker bars, towards tornus more or less 
whitish. Hindwings and cilia pale greyish-ochreous.
